A specific distance isn't going to prevent a crowd of people from forming; but it does it give police officers the ability to punish/threaten/intimidate witness

A specific distance isn't going to prevent a crowd of people from forming; but it does it give police officers the ability to punish/threaten/intimidate witnesses for something that was previously legal.
I hope people don't downvote you for expressing an incorrect opinion, but I do hope that you understand that the purpose of this law is 100% about preventing scrutiny. The angry mob scenario that you describe is fiction used by police officers to prevent you from looking into their job performance.
- logicalmonster 4y agoThe responses to my posts in this thread such as "Fuck what they want" only reinforce to me that the proverbial mob isn't capable of being objective about many police actions. Having a crowd of people trying to scream a few feet away from the cops trying to apprehend a resisting person is a recipe for disaster.
